Best of days livin' a simple life There's nowhere to go when there's only one stop light His grandmother told him "Don't you dare sign up They'll ship you away to places we ain't heard of Get a degree, and maybe be a doctor Just ask your daddy, it won't matter once they got ya Lifetimes you could spend to find out what she meant Her final dyin' breath, this is what she said"
"Long gone is the praise for those who fought for us Ashes to ashes, turns out steel still rusts Stone carved in your name, no one can really trust Shoulder another soldier they stole from us Don't ever bend, don't ever crawl Supposed to stand and never fall Long gone is the praise for those who fought for us Ashes to ashes, turns out steel still rusts"
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust And steel still rusts Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
A third of his life off in a foreign land Thanks for your service, sincerely, Uncle Sam Lost the best of friends he'd ever known And no line of welcome signs once he got back home He got a job, a doorman at a dive bar Became a bodyguard, protecting famous rock stars Lost count of the times he's been around the world Promised grandmama he'd never lose these words
Long gone is the praise for those who fought for us Ashes to ashes, turns out steel still rusts Stone carved in your name, no one can really trust Shoulder another soldier they stole from us Don't ever bend, don't ever crawl Supposed to stand and never fall Long gone is the praise for those who fought for us Ashes to ashes, turns out steel still rusts
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust And steel still rusts Ashes to ashes and dust to dust And dust to dust
Forever feel the wounds that never heal When fallen friends are now a line of crosses in a field
